Look times a changing. The reasoning behind the adversity of using more distinct and precise language, is either mental deficit as in lack of empathy or just some fear related issues.
some will be that historically on the wrong side caracter that was trying to justify the N words by explaining the latin etymology and therefore justifying its use and their inability to adapt...
Evolution is a bitch but we really wont miss them...
Nice thread...

Update: The student has apologized for using the term 'biological women' as she says it was a redundant term and she now has an extension to finish her paper and has someone else grading it. So she will now follow the rules but wants to drag her professor through the mud for upholding the university's policies and rules.
Following the email that I sent my school regarding the incident between me and my professor I attended a meeting in which we discussed this and come to the conclusion that I'll finish my project with the original proposal, I have someone else marking it other than my professor and I also have an extension until next week. I am very thankful for the woman who's helping me set this up however she doesn't deal with the jurisdiction regarding professors violating policies.
I am in contact with someone now who does deal with this so I will give this school a chance to respond and although the grade situation is fixed, if the professor is not corrected in some way she's going to continue to do this to other students in the future and I will not allow that. She needs to be held accountable and used as an example to all staff of all universities and schools out there that it's not okay to use your position of power as a professor to try to limit someone's right to free speech. My school specifically has a policy regarding the suppression of ideas and it's not tolerated which is exactly what my professor attempted to do
I do apologize for using the term biological woman and it was redundant and not necessary using the term biological to describe a man or woman implies that they're non-biological men and women
I intend to continue this push to eradicate the suppression of ideas and opinions on all campuses and the number of messages that I ve gotten in the last few days from other students saying that this has happened in my school is alarming and something needs to be done about it because there has to be a wake-up call. I encourage each and every one of you to stand up and try to do something about it because there has to be a wake up call and our push back will be the start to an end of it all crazy stuff...

There is no law against offending people. And facts don't care about your feelz. Women are adult human females. You can use the words interchangably.
You and I can do whatever we feel is right for us, but the student signed up for a course where words matter, definitions matter and if she does not want to respect transfolk by using non-offensive terms then she should have selected a topic not about transfolk.

It's called, you want to make the argument, show your work. Don't have other people do it for you.
But thank you, I enjoy not having those nice algorithm having spy apps on my phone.
I am done with this garbage, if you want to continue the argument find someone else or respond to others here for some mutual back slapping.
This is the classic swan song, drop out by the person who was held to account on something. We’ve read this post 101 times, and it’s always entertaining, never gets old.
It's over, the student apologized and is now following the rules. None of this matters now.
@quintessentone does it look to you Olivia is apologizing for what she said? Not only she hasn't apologized but she calls for the professor to be held accountable for violating school policies. The school recognized the mess created by the professor n another staff member is going to mark her project with the original proposal not removed.

Yeah, thats a real pattern I've noticed.
Make wholesale claims that are complete lies, as the thread goes on. First, the lie is introduced as a possiblitly, then later as an actual agreed upon fact.
Those types of people I just quit responding too. I got caught in their game once, not again.

That's the thing, it's not either of those.
Biological Women; "An individual of the sex which is of the nature to conceive and bring forth young, or (in a wider sense) which has an ovary and produces ova"
The opposite of this would be a nonbiological women; someone pretending to be a women and will never have the actual qualities of being an biological women.
We have asked the previous poster several times to show where the "apology" was made and they pointed to tik tok as the answer. Those of us with higher brain power knows tik tok is useless and a spy app and not a reliable source. When asked to quote they denied.

Nobody is dumpster diving on tik tok where Olivia's many, many videos have the proof. You believe what you want but Olivia will not be using the term 'biological women' even though all of you want her to so much that you are all deliberately avoiding her tik tok vids where the proof lies
C'mon Linda0 post some of her tik toc videos.
I do apologize for using the term biological woman and it was redundant and not necessary using the term biological to describe a man or woman implies that they're non-biological men and women
